    1. Right click the icon and close the application.

    2. Navigate to c:\program files\conexant\smartaudio This is where you likely have it preinstalled.

    3. Change the filename of smaudio.exe to anything else (i.e. 'smaudioislame.exe')

    I know it's a little unsophisticated for a solution, but it works! I was expecting a missing target error upon reboot, but to date there is nothing.

    Why not kill it in the Startup folder, or with Start > Run > msconfig? Or grab CCleaner and Tools > Startup and nuke it in there? Just a suggestion (to all and sundry).
